Published in International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health
Abstract
Randomized trial of specific collagen peptides for functional hip and knee discomfort during daily activities.
Methodology
Double-blind placebo-controlled trial of 5 g/day specific collagen peptides for 12 weeks in adults with functional knee and hip pain.
Key Findings
Collagen peptides reduced several physician- and participant-rated pain outcomes during daily activities compared with placebo.
Conclusions
Daily specific collagen peptides may reduce functional hip and knee discomfort, but confirmation in diagnosed hip disease is needed.
Limitations
Participants had functional discomfort rather than confirmed osteoarthritis; short duration; industry-linked investigators.
Supplements Studied
The daily intake of 5 g of SCP seems to benefit healthy adults with hip and knee joint discomforts by reducing pain during daily activities.
